★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6 reviews · 6.5 - 8 hours · from $160

Follow a 7.2 km route through Teno’s plantations, forest, dry riverbed, and water rapids. Eugenio or Michael may guide your small group in English, Spanish, or Russian. Expect 350 meters of ascent, light canyon scrambling, a cold swim, transport, photos, and a full day outside the usual resort circuit.

“This was a truly memorable trip! The gorge was beautiful, just the right dose of adventure climbing through these rocks. Eugenio is a wonderful guide and interesting person to spend the day with. I cannot recommend this experience enough - we will be back booking more hikes with Eugenio. He makes you discover Tenerife outside of the touristic spots.”
